Hi everybody,

I would like to record Dublin 98FM radio ("http://www.dublins98.ie"). I followed the tutorial on this site how to find URL of audio stream, but I wasn't successful. I found base URL (rtmp://flash.fmstreams.com/shoutcast), but I cannot find a name of flv file. In the packet where the play directive is, there is only another URL("http://dublins98.fmstreams.com:8000/"). I tried to access it, no response. Can somebody point me at a right direction?

Bellow I extracted strings from packets which contained play keyword.

i've tried to download the RTMP stream with Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm), Jaksta (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Jaksta-Streaming-Media%20Recorder-and-Converter.htm) and WM Recorder (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/WMRecorder-One-click-online-audio-video-stream-recorder.htm) and all of them were able to do that. The live RTMP stream doesn't use SWF verification.

You can try to find the RTMP URL with freeware CooJah (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Blader-freeware-RTMP-downloader.htm) or shareware NetXFer (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/NetXFer-Saving-Windows-Media-Real-Audio-Video-QT-streaming-to-hd.htm).

I tried CooJah (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Blader-freeware-RTMP-downloader.htm) and NetXFer (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/NetXFer-Saving-Windows-Media-Real-Audio-Video-QT-streaming-to-hd.htm), but neither of them managed to get the URL. I tried Replay Media Catcher (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Replay-Media-Catcher-HTTP-RTMP-FLV-MP3-ripper-recorder.htm) and it downloaded streamed media no problem, but it is not what I need. I want to run vlc on Linux with the scheduled job to capture certain parts of morning radio show. I'm in different time zone so I can't do it manually. Is there any way for me to get the URL for the stream?

You shouldn't have any problem finding RTMP URLs with CooJah (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/Blader-freeware-RTMP-downloader.htm) and NetXFer (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/NetXFer-Saving-Windows-Media-Real-Audio-Video-QT-streaming-to-hd.htm).

The problem is that usually RTMP URLs change, so you can't just find the URL once and use it in a scheduler. Scheduled recording of RTMP streams is tricky even in Windows, despite of the amount of RTMP recorders (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/record-streaming-video-Adobe-Flash-FLV-videos.htm) for Windows.

Another problem is that VLC has poor implementation of RTMP. This is not a big deal if you use Linux, because you can use rtmpdump (http://all-streaming-media.com/record-video-stream/rtmpdump-freeware-console-RTMP-downloading-application.htm), a command line utility that allows to download RTMP streams.

And you can use rtmpsuck to get all parameters needed to download RTMP streams with rtmpdump, or even download RTMP streams with rtmpsuck. So forget about URL Finder (http://all-streaming-media.com/find-stream-URL/) for Windows, if you use Linux.

Why don't you just capture from this URL?

http://dublins98.fmstreams.com:8000/
or
http://dublins98.fmstreams.com:8000/listen.pls


It works for me
It plays fine on Media Player Classic,so it shouldn't have any problems on VLC

Thanks for tip. I discovered independently the same. It works. I'm just confused why there is rtmp in the picture when they use http to broadcast the audio.

They just have both RTMP and HTTP streams.
